This blog deals with issues pertaining to natural dignity and worth that all humanity deserves under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. You will find articles about Life issues pertinent to Christian living and faith.

“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

FATHER OF DOWNS CHILDREN RESPONDS TO RICHARD DAWKINS

My previous post "INCLUDING PEOPLE WITH DOWNS"

Richard Dawkins

referred to Richard Dawkins' disgusting and bigoted comments that mother's carrying a Downs baby have a moral responsibility to abort the child. That brought a welcome comment from Tom Reynolds referring me to an OPEN LETTER TO RICHARD DAWKINS, by J.D. Flynn, published in FIRST THINGS -- America's most influential journal on religion and public life. It is an excellent letter. Please read it here: http://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2014/08/an-open-letter-to-richard-dawkins

What Dawkins does not understand is that people with Downs call the world to a higher standard of love.Click on image below or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfuaNhXI1Ao for a beautiful song written by Steve Mosher, the father of a daughter with Downs. It is perhaps the most poignant response to Richard Dawkins' comments.
